Stand up paddle boarding in Pembrokeshire with Outer Reef Surf School

Stand up Paddle boarding in Pembrokeshire with Outer Reef Surf School.

We’re so lucky in Pembrokeshire as most of our coastline is a National Park and paddle boarding is one of the best ways to explore it.
On flat water, paddle boarding offers the ability to silently explore rivers, estuaries and coastlines but in the waves it enables you to catch them early and access breaks which other surfers can’t reach.
We run courses for the complete novice & train ISA sup instructor award. We the basics such as board and paddle types, foot positioning and sea safety. If you already surf, try a more advanced course covering paddle strokes, turning quickly, catching waves and board control in white water.
Just remember whilst you have all this fun it’s also developing your core fitness. Beats going to the gym any day!
